Need help with dental/ear symptoms

Friday night, I had a weird pain in my left ear. I couldn't figure out where it was at first, then realized it was my outer ear (I guess it's called the helix/antihelix). It felt like I had to crack it but couldn't; it was pretty uncomfortable. It did go away after a couple of hours.

Saturday night, I had pain in my teeth, my teeth felt loose, and I got shooting nerve pain in a tooth which already had a root canal. Also had pain on the roof of my mouth, light sensitivity, and tingling in different parts of my head. I thought for sure I'd wake up and would either need an emergency tooth extraction or my face would be completely numb. Took activated charcoal and went to bed.

Sunday....I was fine! No ear pain, no mouth pain, no light sensitivity. Today, I have a little pressure/soreness in my left lymph node.

Wth could be causing it? Herx? Is there an herb or anything that helps with teeth pain? (Was tempted to rub some whiskey on my gums lol) Are there lyme literate dentists? Or does it not matter that I have lyme when I need dental care?

Also, is there a limit to the amount of activated charcoal you can take? It's becoming my go-to detox but I'm thinking I should add something else in too.

Lyme is migrating symptoms.

Just because you are treating does not mean that you won't get migrating symptoms. I got them all the way until I was healed. They are annoying and a total source of stress.

I always wondered if I should go to the ER. Honestly, I sure came close a few times, especially when my heart was involved.

BUT.... here is the danged if you do, danged if you don't part. What if it is something else?

I knew my body super well and still was confused.

My best advice is always contact your LLMD and ask them for advice.

As for detoxing - on the New to Lyme thead there is a site for detoxing on the tired of lyme website you can see other options.

Milk thistle is a detoxing agent for the liver, so yes it counts!!

If you can get in to see a biological dentist, then I would definitely suggest that you ask their opinion, but even if they are, and especially those that aren't, I wouldn't bother bringing it up, as they don't know enough about these infections. You may find yourself being "poo-pooed" for having "such thoughts" - even though there is scientific evidence that Lyme not only lives in the mouth/teeth, but that Bartonella can and does affect the jaw bones in advanced cases.

I have the same pain on face, ear ant theet, nothing has helped so far.

PMM,

Sorry you were in pain. I rub Clove and Thieves essential oils over my gums (1 drop of each on qtip). I do this after swooshing a drop of oral defense by Supreme Nutrition - it's an essential oil for dental protection. I love it. I also put a drop of Thieves on Qtip and swab each nostril to keep sinus infections away. I put one drop of Brain Power on ear lobes. Migrating pain is awful. It's all awful. Feel better!

Man, a few months ago I got an outer ear infection, swimmer's ear, but I have no idea how? It hurt so very bad but the doc at urgent care begrudgingly gave me medicine saying he usually doesn't treat it. Anyway, since then my ear hurts on and off with that same pain but no infection. On the same side ive had two root canals in my lower jaw and they periodically hurt too. I had them originally done, then redone because infection set in, then redone again by a specialist because the first guy messed up royally, actually first guy botched it (felt it, awful!!) the guy's dad in the practice tried to fix it. But still had horrible pain so the specialist fixed it and got the first practice to refund my money.
I'm super nervous about dental stuff now. But I know these root canals are still giving me issues. They are side by side, bottom molars though so I don't know how I could get by with having them removed?
Anyway, I feel your pain pmm.
